Description
I have owned the car since October 2023 and I am a member of the following clubs:
Jaguar Enthusiasts Club
Jaguar Breakfast Club
XJS Club
There is not a lot of documented history with the car from before I bought it but I have lots of old MOT's going back to 2012. The car was in family ownership (for more than 20 years) by the previous owner and his cousin, who was a garage mechanic and did all the repairs as needed.
There are some small areas of rust on the body but on inspection by a local garage and a local Jaguar Independent specialist it is good underneath.
The bad bits:
Rust as detailed above
A/ C not blowing cold
Needs a micro-switch for the handbrake light (Doesn't always go out on releasing the handbrake)
Ariel not working but I have a replacement to fit
Drivers window not lowering.
It is a nice car to drive and wafts about in a very 'upper-crust' manner! It is not perfect and I have detailed the bits of work that I know needs doing, but it is a nice, honest and original car. Please come and view/ drive the car - most times/ dates would be suitable. Located in Boston, Lincolnshire. I bought it with the intention of taking it to shows and for weekend ride-outs. Unfortunately a genuine change in circumstances means I have to sell it.
The work carried out in my ownership:
MOT to 2/ 5/ 2025 with NO advisories
Personalised registration plate
New carpets
New Bosch Battery October 2023
New bonnet struts
New gear lever bushes
Full service & inspection by Independent Jaguar Specialist in October 2023
Full check completed by a trusted local garage, including horn repair, fan belt and fluid checks.
